Culinary Arts College is a site dedicated to elevating American cuisine by encouraging a new generation of chefs to attend a culinary arts college.

As a formally trained chef, it is my belief that many potentially great chefs, limit their opportunities by not obtaining a formal education, so it is the goal of this website to inform students about the educational process, their degree options, some pitfalls to watch out for, and what to expect when attending a culinary arts college.
